Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02383 | $0.02383 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00953 | $0.00953 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00477 | $0.00477 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00238 | $0.00238 |
Grade A, and why
conduit AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conduit MCP Server - AI Development Guide
Architecture Overview
Conduit is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with Phabricator and Phorge APIs through a modular client pattern with unified entry points.
Core Architecture
- Main Server (
src/conduit.py): FastMCP-based server with dual transport modes (stdio/HTTP-SSE) - Unified Client (
src/client/unified.py): Enhanced client with caching, retries, and token optimization - Modular Clients (
src/client/*.py): Specialized clients for different Phabricator APIs
Supported APIs
- Maniphest: Task management (search, create, edit tasks, get transaction history)
- Differential: Code review (search, create, manage revisions)
- Diffusion: Repository management (search, browse, commits, file content with base64 decoding)
- File: File management (search, upload, download)
- User: User management (information, queries)
- Project: Project management (search, members, workboards)
- Conduit: System interface (ping, capabilities, info)
Development Workflow
Environment Setup
This project uses uv virtual environment. Before executing any Python code, activate the Python virtual environment first:
# Since this is a Phabricator MCP Server, you may set environment variables
# Example environment variables (replace with your actual values):
# export PHABRICATOR_TOKEN="your-32-character-token"
# export PHABRICATOR_URL="https://your-phabricator-instance.com/api/"
# export PHABRICATOR_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" # Optional
# export PHABRICATOR_DISABLE_CERT_VERIFY=1 # Optional (security risk)
# Actual execution with environment variables:
PHABRICATOR_TOKEN="your-32-character-token" \
PHABRICATOR_URL="https://your-phabricator-instance.com/api/" \
PHABRICATOR_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" \
PHABRICATOR_DISABLE_CERT_VERIFY=1 \
source venv/bin/activate && python your_script.py
# Example, actual name may changed
source venv/bin/activate && uv pip xxx
source xxx && python xxx
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

conduit AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository cortex-app/conduit (9 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,383 tokens to every session, about $0.0095 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
